- Welcome to our HOUSE! Everybody has been asking for this video, and we finally had the time and weather to do it! With a TON of help, we built this Mitsubishi Fuso based overland truck, and promptly moved in full-time. If you enjoy this tour, peruse our channel to find more info about the chassis, the box build, and more importantly, the adventures we take in it!

Functionally and technically, the truck is awesome. Aesthetically, I liked that it was bright and not filled with fake wood panelling. I just wish it didn’t remind me so much of living in a cruise ship employee cabin.
Thanks, we tried our best to make it homey! We're adding more art as we travel, so it will only get more cozy!
adore la casa de ustedes, que tengan unas excelentes aventuras!!!
Gracias!
Классно! Удачи ребята! У меня такой же туалет, только серого цвета. И так же никакого газа)
Brilliant.
Great video and truck design! Very cool to see the walkthrough. Enjoy the travels
Thank you!
Luv,luv, luv! Just cooking close to bed !
We try not to make bacon in bed, but we could!!
Great job!
Thanks so much!
Great tour and build. I'm liking the banjolele 😊
Thanks! We had fun with it. The Banjolele comes everywhere with us- love the twang, mixed with easy chords!
Awesome video Heather and Dana! It looks like you built a great vehicle for your adventures! ❤️Be well and safe travels!!
Thank you! 🤗
Hey I subscribed. Awesome video. The quality of the video is so stunning clear. So great I happened upon your channel. So interested in your new mexico adventures.
Thanks so much!! We're a bit behind on editing, but we have so many more adventures to share!
Thanks
Wow, that is super kind of you, thanks!!!
Congratulations. Great looking build.🛠👍
Thanks!!
Looking good guys
Thank you!!
Dear,
thank you very much for charing your experiance with us.
I'm in the proces of building a camper on a 4x4, Mitsubishi or Isuzu, not sure yet.
I've never met someone who builded himself this torsion free subframe.
Is it possible please, to have some more information about this topic?
It would help me a lot.
Regards.
Willy
Hey Willy, thanks for watching! We have a build thread going on Expedition Portal that explains a bit more about the subframe:forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/heather-and-danas-2007-fg140-camper-build.237170/#post-3161654
Hi guys. we have just found your channel and subscribed 👍, we absolutely love what you've built. Well done. Kath and I are hoping to come over to the States in the next couple of years once we have our new truck, but until then we will follow your adventures.
Thanks SO much! Hope to see you in the states. Happy Travels!
@@HD.Adventuring That would be awesome 🚐💨🚐💨
So cute! Love it, guys! ❤ This looks like something we'd like to live in someday soon. 😊
Thanks!!
I'm afraid those "hangy downy" boxes will be long gone in rough terrain.
LOL, we're afraid too. But 6 months in, and hundreds of miles off-road they are still intact. Did scrape(gently) once though!
Great tour! Pretty sure we saw you guys going through Phoenix today!
Thanks! Nope, not us, we're in MX right now(videos are a bit behind, but we're catching up!)
Great video Heather and Dana! I'm pretty sure I drove by your rig in Borrego Springs a couple months back near Fonts Point, was that you?
Thanks for the love! It's possible- we passed through that area on our way down to Baja!
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. Very interesting build. So...ballpark figure, what is total cost of this Adventure Mobile?
Hey, thanks for joining us! We spent ~120k on this build all in.
Not a comment but a question. What is the black trim used around the edge of your panels? And, how thick is the panel at the opening to your sleeping area. This trim looks so simple yet clean. It’s always a challenge to trim the edges of composites efficiently.
We found the trim here: amzn.to/4995DTe our interior panels are 3/4 inch thick
Hi! Great project! We are thinking about something like this but the only thing i dont like is fuel comsumpsion. How big is it? Av 20l/100 km? Less or more?
I wish it consumed less fuel too! If we travel at 60 mph or below, we can usually get 12 mpg, or around 20l/100km!
Awesome build! What's the brand and model of the outdoor shower hookup? Its so slick
Thanks! The shower is from the brand Bullfinch. www.thecampervanshop.com/shop/bullfinch-external-shower-point/?v=79cba1185463
hey guys! how much did this all cost approximately? including the base vehicle price
We spent a bit over 100K USD all in. Truck, suspension, wheels/tires, box, buildout. Thinking of creating a video about this- would that be interesting?
I am currently researching for my next rig. Plan on spending a lot of time in Baja and back country but I do have to drive a lot of highway miles between destinations - How does the Fuso handle road travel and cruising at Interstate speeds?
The Fuso CAN go 70 MPH on a flat ground, but it seems to like to cruise around 60 MPH. It's not as easy driving as a pickup, but it does OK on highways. We've driven across the country in it twice(see our other videos for that.) It's underpowered, but that means better fuel economy- everything is a compromise:)
We are in the middle of building our own canter, how did you route the wires and tube for the aircon from the rear to the front?
Thanks so much for the tip- very kind of you!! Stoked to hear about your build. The 25 foot lineset from Pioneer was exactly the length we needed for the Aircon. We mounted the head unit in the truck, and then cut a hole through the front panel to run the lines through it. We sealed the hole back with sprayfoam. Then we routed the lines down to the truck frame, and to the rear of the box. I outlined it a bit more on our Expedition Portal build thread here as well: forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/heather-and-danas-2007-fg140-camper-build.237170/#post-3148753
What insulated composite panels did you use?
Allan from Overlander Global sourced our panels for us!
Where did u get the panels
Allan from Overlander Global sourced them for us.
theres another manual 4x4 for sale on facebook marketplace in Denver currently if you know anyone looking for a platform
Good to know!
Why this setup over lets say a big 4x4 truck with a camper?
More living space, and better utilization of the space, passthru to the cab, truck is designed to carry the weight, and better insulation/systems compared to many(but not all!) truck campers. There are disadvantages too: cost, complexity, and weight.
anyone ID the music at the beging?
We use epidemic sound: share.epidemicsound.com/pg2v2z

How much did it cost
We're going to shoot a video breaking down the cost soon!
